Anon@ 10:19 - it's up to Blake Morgan what advice to give and which instructions to accept. They've misjudged this. It's a PR disaster for them and a warning for all firms to think hard about the clients they want to work for and the kind of work they want to do. A business I admire very much has an internal motto: 'DDWT' (Don't Deal With T*ssers) and I commend that approach to anyone in any business.

Law firms should choose their work, choose their clients and be prepared to say 'no thanks'. Especially if they make a big fuss on their websites about their firm's ethics, CSR and so on.

Reputation is based on trust, and there's a lovely Dutch saying on this: - 'Trust comes on foot but departs on horseback'.
